EXPLANATION.
Thb abbreviations are these, — b. for bom, d. died, m. married, s. son, dau.
daughter, bap. baptized, rem. removed, res. resides.
The column of figures on the left margin of the page is the general enumera-
tion from the beginning to the end of the volume. The figure over each para-
graph indicates the number of the individual in the general enumeration, where
his name and parentage may be found. The fractional or superior figure over
each name denotes the generation to which he belongs : Thus Thomas^ is of the
first generation, Thomas' is of the second, and so onward to the ninth.
The plan of the book is simple, advancing in order from one goieration to
another. The descendants of Thomas, the eldest son of the Pilgrim, are
arranged first in each generation, an^ so the children of the other sons. If one
knows to which branch he belongs, he may open the book and trace down the
line from the Pilgrim to himself. If other methods £eu1, turn to the name in the
Index.
The names of the children of Burgess daughters, when known, are recorded
for one generation only ; and the line is then suispended. Such names will be
found under the surname of the father in each family.
No marginal notes, parentheses, or italic words, disfigure these pages. The
reader is complimented by the assumption that he will understand plain
English.
The names of 4,605 descendants of Thomas and Dorothy Burgess are enrolled
in this volume. Nearly 200 others are incidentally reported. If all the chil-
dren of the sons could be found, and those of the daughters should be fully
enumerated, instead of one generation only, the whol« number would not
probably be less than 10 or 12,000.
INTRODUCTION.
Genealogy is the registry of generations. This is a distinct
department of knowledge. It is analogous to biography and
history ; but it differs from both. Biography is the memoir of an
individual ; and history is the record of persons and events in
general.
Genealogy selects its individual^ and gives the names and statis-
tics of his family in successive years. It begins at the stem of* the
tree, and runs off into its branches. It enters the mouth of the
river, and follows back the tributary streams to their source.
This department of research will be chiefly left to filial affection.
Few, except the immediate kindred, can be expected to feel much
interest in the lineage of a particular family. Curiosity can hardly
be excited in the stranger, and the love of general knowledge
does not find itself repaid. The genealogist must live on dry
roots, prosecute his work with little sympathy from others, and
deny himself the hope of any pecuniary reward.
The current of time, how swiftly it flows from the eternity past
to the eternity future. This ocean-stream bears along on its bosom
the generations of men, who like drift-wood are thrown aside by
the force of the current on either bank. The lessons of wisdom,
which may be derived from the study of genealogy, are not few.
One is an affecting conviction of the brevity of man's earthly
existence. There are two hundred and twenty-eight years only,
since the settlement of Thomas in Sandwich ; and yet there are
bom some hundreds of the Ninth generation, allowing less than
thirty years to a generation. Besides^ nearly one-third of each
generation has died in childhood. Truly life is a vapor. " We
all do fade as a leaf." Besides, fUrther, many die suddenly, as by
disaster. Look over this volume, and see the frequent recurrence
of " lost at sea," or " fell in battle."
Another lesson is the mutual obligation, which each generation
owes, whether to the preceding or the succeeding. How imperfect
is our estimate of the debt to our father and mother. Care, nur-
ture, instruction, discipUne, example and prayer, are elements in
this debt. We are sometimes affected with one item in this debt,
and when we have wiped away our tears, we begin to be impressed
with another. But it must be left to our expanded souls in a
future world to comprehend the stupendous thought of filial duty.
The same line of remark may run on to the next generation.
Another lesson is the guilt of degeneracy. In purity of blood,
in good habits, in sound principles, and in exemplary piety,
benefits flow down to us from our ancestry. "Who can tell what a
loss our children will suffer, if we apostatize in any of these
respects. It is easy for us to speak lightly of strict manners and
theological speculations, as if there were little connection between
principles and conduct, between religion and morality. What a
sad inheritance does the drunkard or the infidel entail to his family.
Who can depict its guilt.
Another legson may be read in the power of example, as per-
petuated in families. The child is imitative. One family is
elevated, honest and honorable, and it has been so from time im-
memorial. Another is abject and vulgar, and improvement is
hardly expected. It is said, indeed, that a patrimony cannot be
preserved in a family beyond the third generation, in consequence
of the idleness or profligacy of the children. Be it so. Esau
despised his birthright.
Another lesson is the duty to cultivate a fraternal love with every
one. By ancestry or by intermarriage we are all allied together.
Aristocracy is an imaginative idea. The people in the east and
the west, in the north and in the souths are on a level. The city
and the country are the same. We do not know how numerous
and intimate are our bonds of alliance^ until we attempt to search
them out. No mountain or river can effectually separate the fami-
lies and tribes of our race. The mail, laden with messages of
fraternal love, is borne across the continent or the ocean. During
our rebel war, it is not improbable that brothers, enlisted on
opposite sides, have fallen in battle by each other's hand. Near
kinsmen, without any doubt, have met in deadly conflict. Such a
war tends to exterminate even the kindly instincts of nature.
Another lesson still is the momentous truth, that righteousness
exalts a family, no less than a nation. Bad as the world is, a
tribute is paid to virtue. Honesty is the best policy. .A good
name is a passport to office and honor. The demagogue cannot
gain the reputation of a statesman, nor will the fraudulent man be
intrusted with the public treasure.
Such are some lessons, which the study of genealogy can hardly
fail to impress on the mind.
The history of this volume can be stated in a few words. After
a ministry of forty years, in the First Church in Dedham, the
Compiler resigned his official labors, March 13, 1861. The Rev.
Frederick Freeman, the graceful historian of Cape Cod, said to
him that the report of the Burgess family was very imperfect and
unsatisfactory. The reasons were readily presumed to be, that no
effort had ever been made to collect the statistics of the family
that its members were widely dispersed by migration, and that
they had never acquired any special distinction for learning, wealth
or official rank. He soon traced out his own line, and was thus
encouraged to proceed. He is now happy to find a kindred of
several thousands with few blots on their shield of honor. Any
one of the family, who may look over this volume, will be aroused
to act a worthy part, or the blame will be his own. Magistrates,
physicians, clergymen, officers of churches, men and women of
sound sense and true patriotism, have preceded him. If there are
hoary infidels, besotted drunkards, and slothful paupers in this
catalogue, it has not come to the writer's knowledge.
The compiler solicits no thanks. The work has nurtured filial
sentiments, and contributed to his daily happiness. He has no
wish to breathe the spirit of any one, who cultivates no reverence
for his parentage, and feels no solicitude for his children, however
much they might gain by his wisdom, or will surely lose by his
folly.
This little book, like the Almanac or Catechism, will be often
consulted. By the members of the family, whose name it bears,
it will be sufficiently appreciated. It is not fastidious. It will
not despise the huntsman's cabin, or the fisherman's boat ; yet it
will sometimes be found on the table of the merchant, and it will
sail with the shipmaster around the world. But its value will
chiefly appear in its salutary influence on the industry, integrity
and piety of those in humble life. How will it console the aged,
and restrain, the young. How will it assemble the departed family
to attend at the altar of daily worship, and how will it fill up the
chamber of the dying believer with visitants from the celestial
home.
This volume is only an approximation to the truth. It asserts
no claim to infallibility. Written records, public and domestic,
are the best authority. But many families have no registry. The
memory of the living is always fallible. Popular tradition is soon
vitiated. Whatever truthfulness could be attained by industry and
careful inquiry, this volume claims. Some descendants of Thomas
have failed to make any report, and whole families are left out.
In many other families, a few fragments only are inserted. That
errors may be found, there can be no doubt These pages are left
open to future corrections. If another edition should be demand-
ed, every suggestion of kindred and friends will be gratefully
regarded.
Some may think that further delay might secure a more full
report The compiler thinks so. But it became a question
whether the loss would not exceed the gain. Life is short. Who
can devote more than three years to a work, so small ? This vol-
ume will save from obliyion many names and dates, which were
just escaping from human memory. The kindred may congratu*
late themselves, that so much is reclaimed firom dust and worms.
And if they will now furnish themselves .with family Bibles and
registers, and from this date preserve full records, the genealogist
of some future century may reckon up the thousands in our tribe
with less trouble and more accuracy.
This volume is restricted to the family of Thomas Burgess, the
Pilgrim. The plan, being so narrow, will not admit a notice of
others, who are not of this lineage. Such are William Burgis, the
Secretary of the Massachusetts Bay Association, in 1629 ; Daniel
and Anthony, zealous clergymen of the Puritan stamp ; the learned
and devout Thomas Burgess, bishop of St David's; and many
others.
The orthography of some names is varied to please the taste of
individuals, — Tristam for Tristram, Hepsah for Hepzibah, Zeviah
or Seviah for Zeruiah, Carrie for Caroline, Charlie for Charles.
The antique style of spelling ordinary words is excluded from this
volume. Some variations are errors in typography, and others
are errors of clerks and recorders, who had adopted no uniform
standard. To perpetuate such obvious errors can give no satis&c-
tion to any one.
Titles, whether literary or professional, being generally unknown,
are not introduced. Officers, military, civil and ecclesiastical, must
not consider this omission an evidence of disrespect No offense
is intended. Thus, — CoL, Capt., Esq., Eev., A. M., M. D., D. D.,
however well merited, do not often appear. Members of State
legislatures, justices of the peace, officers in the army, and ship-
masters, will accept this apology.
It is well understood, that Thomas and the first five generations
of his descendants, were Congregationalists of the Puritan stamp,
and that a large proportion of them were baptized in infancy and
8
became members of the cHarch. Since that time, there has been
a diversity of religious denominations in some branches of the
family. But as a matter of taste and to avoid offense^ no religious
denomination has any precedence or is even recognized in this
volume. An idle curiosity will search in vain to learn the religious
connection of any particular person, whether clergyman or civilian.
No one can censure such impartiality.
The short essays on various topics, in the transition from one
generation to another, are designed, like the episodes in a poem,
to relieve the dull monotony of statistics.
The names of some hundreds of the descendants of John in
Middlesex County, and of James in western Connecticut, are col-
lected; and the compiler of this volume desires very much to
insert them, but the evidence from records and traditions is strong
against their lineage from Thomas. This is conclusive. Some
genealogist of their own must complete and publish the collection.
One thought further is specially appropriate to be noted down.
There is some reason to believe that the family, which Thomas
was called to leave behind in England, remained in the shackles of
the Komish Church, — with no Bible in the vernacular tongue,
with no worldly prosperity, with no expansion of mind, with no
spiritual consolation. If this be true, what child of Thomas will
not bow down in reverential worship before the God of his father,
and acknowledge the sovereign hand which led him into this
western wilderness.

BURGESS GENEALOGY.
THOMAS BURGESS.
The origin of the name of Burgess will not admit of con-
troversy. It is a title, civil or official. The inhabitant or repre-
sentative of a Burgh or Borough is a Burgess. In England, the
orthography of the name is well preserved, both in Church and
State, and it may easily be traced back for three or four centu-
ries ; but in this country it has been corrupted into Burghess,
Burges, Burgis, Borgis, Burge, Burg.
The ancestral line of Thomas in England and the date of
his migration to this country, cannot yet be ascertained with full
confidence. It appears that he arrived in Salem with a young
family not far from 1630, and lodged for a time at Lynn. A
section of land was assigned to him, in that part of Plymouth
called Duxbury, July 3, 1637. This section of land, being for-
feited by his removal to Sandwich in the same year, was assign-
ed to Nicholas Robbins, November 5, 1638, who made to the
former occupant some remuneration for fences and culture.
In the settlement of Sandwich, Thomas Burgess became as-
sociated with Edmund Freeman, Henry Feake, Richard Chad-
well, William Almy, Thomas Tupper, William Wood, Edward
Dillingham, John Carman, George Knott, and Thomas Dexter.
" He was," says Dr. Savage, "a chief man of them." In the
church, instituted in 1638, under the pastoral care of William
Leverich, he was an original member. In process of time he
became a large landholder, and with advancing age he was call-
ed Goodman Burgess. He served the town in every office,
humble or honorable, from road-surveyor to deputy to the Court
at Plymouth, for several successive years.
There is a charm in the fact that the patriarchal estate has
never been alienated from the family. Benjamin, — the founder
of the commercial house of Benjamin Burgess & Sons, Boston,
— a lineal descendant of the sixth generation, held it in his
2
10
possession, and in 1863, could pQint out the old cellar in which
Thomas stored his fruits, and the bubbling fountain from which
he drank for forty-eight years, — dying, February 13, 1685, aged
eighty-two years. His grave was honored with a monumenteil
slab, imported from England. " This was the only monument,"
says Amos Otis, Esq., "set up for any pilgrim of the first gen-
eration." Dorothy, his wife, died Feb. 27, 1687.
The descendants of Thomas Burgess, thousands in number,
are dispersed from Maine to California. They are chiefly de-
voted, as it should be, to agriculture. Many navigate the seas.
Some are employed in the mechanic arts, and others are found
in the medical, clerical and legal professions. As a race, they
hold fast their moral and religious integrity. , But some do not
so far appreciate their alliance to tbe Puritan Pilgrim of the Old
Colony, as to send forwa^rd their names to be enrolled in these
Records. Such may find their curiosity stimulated, to trace
out their genealogy more privately, by the aid of a few direct
lines of descent, from the first to the seventh generation.

WILL OF THOMAS BURGESS.
The orthography slightly amended.
I, Thomas Burgess, Senr., of Sandwich, being through God's goodness
full of years, and waiting for my change, and yet having my understanding
remaining with me, — blessed be God, — and also through God's great good-
ness being possessed of a competent outward estate, do now on serious con-
sideration make this my last Will and Testament, touching the disposal of
my estate after my dear wife and myself be decently buried, and all neces-
sary charges defrayed, and all debts paid, the remaining part I give as fol-
loweth :
Item. I give unto my eldest son, Thomas Burgess, of Rhode Island, five
pounds out of my movable estate, to be paid by my executors after our
decease.
Item. I give unto my son, Jacob Burgess, upon good consideration, all
my house-lot, dwelling-house, barn and out-houses, all my upland on both
sides of the cartway, all that belongs to my homestead dwelling. I also
give him all my meadow that I have lying below Michael Blackwell's dwell-
ing-house on both sides of Scussett river, for him my said son Jacob Bur-
fess to enjoy, use and possess during his natural life ; and after his decease
give the said dwelling-house, barn and all the forementioned lands, both
upland and meadow, to his son Thomas Burgess, my grandson, to him and
his heirs forever. But if my said grandson die without heirs, then my will
is that the said house and lands above-mentioned shall return to the next
heir of my son, Jacob Burgess. I give also to my said son, Jacob Burgess,
all my land lying near and adjacent to Thomas Tupper's lands below the
cartway, having Mr. Freeman's land on the western side. These I give to
him upon this condition, that he, my said son Jacob Burgess, pay or cause to
be paid unto my grandson Thomas Burgess, son of my son John Burgess, ten
pounds in good pay, to be made to him my grandson, at twenty-three years
of age.
Item. I give unto my son, Joseph Burgess, the first and second lots th^t
adjoin his other lands near his house, if my said son accept of them so as to
pay unto my son, John Burgess, five pounds ; but if my son Joseph refuse
said lands upon such terms, as to pay said five pounds as aforesaid, then my
will is that said land return to my son, Ezra Perry, and that he perform the
condition, — I mean by two lots, those lots that were once * * * ; then I
give them : I give to my said son, Ezra Perry, all my other lands that lie
above the said two lots, for him to enjoy forever, the which lands I bought
of Mr. Edward Freeman, Jr.
Item. I give to my dear wife all my movable estate, to be at her own
disposing at her decease. I mean chattels of all sorts that I may have.
And I do appoint and ordain my son, Ezra Perry, and my son, Jacob
12
Bnr^ess, to be my Executors to see this my last Will performed, as I witness
under my hand and seal, this fourth day of April, 1684.

SECOND GENERATION.
1.
Thomas Burgess,^ the eldest son of Thomas the Pilgrim, was en-
rolled to bear arms in 1643, when probably 16 years old. He served
the town as constable in 1654. He subscribed to repair the meeting-
house, and to support the minister, in 1657. In 1661 he left the Ply-
mouth Colony, and removed to Newport. He was admitted a freeman
in the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, and served as grand
juror, in 1667. His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter of William
Bassett, whom he married, Nov. 8, 1648. His second wife was
Lydia, daughter of Peter Gaunt, by whom he had one son, and
probably other children.
6. Thomas,' b. 1668.
2.
John Bubqess,^ the second son of Thomas,^ was admitted a free-
man in 1657, and served as grand juror in 1661. He early removed
to Yarmouth, and was deputy from that town to the Court at Plymouth
in 1680. He married Mary, the daughter of Peter Worden, Sept. 8,
1657, and had a large family. He died 1701 ; his wife in 1723.

3.
Elizabeth Burgess,^ the daughter of Thomas,^ m. Ezra Perry, Feb.
12, 1652, and d. Sept. 26, 1717, ag. 88 yrs. In the Will of Thomas
in 1685, he is called " my son," and is appointed one of the Executors.
Children :
17. Ezra, b. Feb. 11, 1653.
18. Deborah, b. Nov. 28, 1654.
19. John, b. Jan. 1, 1657.
20. Samuel, b. March 15, 1667.
21. Benjamin, b. Jan. 15, 1670.
22. Bemembrance, b. Jan. 1, 1676.
The family by the name of Perry became very large in Southern
Massachusetts, along the Atlantic border. The naval officer, Com-
modore Oliver H. Perry, who did so much honor to his country, was
a lineal descendant of Edward, of Sandwich, probably a brother of
Ezra.
Jacob Burgess,^ the third son of Thomas,^ helped to repair the
meeting-house in 1644, and was early a member of the church. He
served the town for many years in the subordinate offices of surveyor,
constable and grand juror. He took the oath of allegiance in 1657.
He inherited, in behalf of his son Thomas,^ the paternal estate in
Sandwich, while the other brothers removed, Thomas^ to Newport,
John^ to Yarmouth, and Joseph^ to Rochester. He was one of the
Executors of his father's Will. He m. Mary, daughter of Benjamin
Nye, June 1, 1670, who d. June 23, 1706. He died March 17, 1719.
Children :
23. Samuel,3 b. March 8, 1671.
24. Ebenezer,3 b. Oct. 2, 1673.
26. Jacob,3 b. Oct. 18, 1676.
26. Thomas,' b. March. 1680.
27. Benjamin,' d. at Martha's Vineyard, 1753.
28. Mary,' m. Christopher Gifford, of Conway.
This Thomas was a child of four years, when the grandfather made
his Will, and entailed to him the old homestead, both in honor of his
name and to perpetuate the estate in the family. Vain are human
plans. Having no male heir surviving, he constituted Zaccheus, the
eldest son of his brother Jacob, as his true and lawful heir, giving
him a deed of the homestead, dated February 18, 1754.
5.
Joseph Burgess,* the fourth son of Thomas,^ was a landholder in
Sandwich, in 1658. He was fined for selling liquor to the Indians in
1659. He was employed to drill the cavalry company in 1660. He
was authorized to look abroad for lands in 1667. He sold out his
property in Sandwich to Richard Bourne in 1677, and removed to
Rochester ; which town he represented in the Court at Plymouth in
1689. He died in August, 1695. Patience, his wife, was the Execu-
14
trix of his Will, with Jacob, of Sandwich, as her counsellor, and the
guardian of her sons during their minority. Children :
29. Rebecca,' b. Jan. 17, 1667, who m. Ross.
30. Dorothy,' b. Nov. 12, 1670. who m. Clifton.
31. Joseph,' b. Nov. 18, 1673, (d. in childhood.)
32. Benjamin,' b. May 6, 1681.
33. Ichabod,' b. 1684.
As Joseph^ is not recognized in his father's Will, it must be assum-
ed that he died in childhood before the father's death ; and as it does
not appear that Ichabod^ was ever established in a family, (and there
are some evidences to the contrary,) the whole hope of Joseph's*
family in the male line concentrates in Benjamin,' who married
Priscilla , and had four sons and five daughters.
This Joseph^ did not survive to the age of his father and brethren.
Nor is it so easy to find the branches of his posterity in the subsequent
generations.
WILL OF JOSEPH BURGESS.
I, Joseph Burgess, of Rochester, being weak of body, and waiting for
my change ; but my understanding and memory remain with me, blessed be
God ; I now commit my soul to God, and my body to the grave in God's time,
in hope of a blessed resurrection, at the resurrection of the dead.
I do now make this my last will and testament touching the disposal of
all my outward estate, and by this will I make void and null all my former
wills by me made at any time heretofore.
And first I do appoint and ordain my dear and loving wife Patience Bur-
gess to be my executrix, to see this my last will and testament performed
according to my will, contained in this instrument as followeth :
Item. I give unto my son, Benjamin Burgess, all my lands that I have in
Rochester, both upland and meadow, house, barn, with all edifices and ap-
purtenances thereunto belonging or any ways appertaining.
Item. I give unto my dear and loving wife. Patience Burgess, during her
life or widowhood, for her relief, all the improvement of all my homestead,
my house and bam, excepting that land I had of Mr. Samuel Prince by ex-
change, and all my movable estate within doors and without, all said mova-
bles to be at my wife's dispose, when she pleaseth, only to our children : —
by the word homestead I intend all my uplands and meadows that belong to
this land I now live upon, all except the above excepted ; and when my said
wife either marry or decease, then my son Benjamin shall take said lands
into his own possession with the appurtenances, but not until my said son
come to the age of one and twenty years.
Item. I also give my wife all my upland and meadow that I have in Sand-
wich, with all the rights I have or in any ways appertaining with all the ap-
purtenances thereunto belonging for her to dispose of, for the obtaining of
a share of land for Ichabod at Rochester, for either that land Captain Pope
mentioned of his own, or other, and the other part of the money, as my wife
takes more, to be at her dispose.
Item. I give unto my daughter Rebecca Ross twenty shillings in money.
Item. I give unto my daughter Dorrity Clifton twenty shillings in money.
Item. I give unto my son ichabod Burgess ten pounds in cattle or other
pay, to be paid to him when he comes to the age of one and twenty years.
Item. I also give unto Benjamin Burgess five pounds in cattle or other
good pay, when he comes to the age of one and twenty years.
15
I also appoint my trasty and well beloved friends, Captain Seth Pope,
Thomas Tupper and Jacob Burgess, all these three, to act as overseers of
this my will. To this my last will I set my hand and seal this fifth of August,
1695.
JOSEPH BURGESS.
Signed, sealed and delivered the day before-said,
in presence of these witnesses.

Thomas Tupper, and Jacob Burgess, whose names stand as witnesses to
this will, made oath before Barnabas Lothrop, Esq., Judge of Probate for
the county of Barnstable, that they did see the above named Joseph Burgess,
now deceased, sign, seal and declare this to be his last will and testament.

THIRD GENERATION.
The old family cradle of Thomas Burgess was rocked near
the sea-side. The bay was spread out in full view, and the
roar of the surf was heard in every tempest. His athletic sons,
early accustomed to adventure in the fisheries, and poorly re-
warded by a sterile soil for work on the land, were often allured
to seek their fortune on the treacherous ocean. Many of them
have been ordinary mariners, and not a few the brave com-
manders of ships. No pen has noted down the number of the
lost, and no monumental stones indicate their resting place. In
some instances, father and son, or two brothers, have fallen vic-
tims in the same disaster. Death has followed hardship and
danger. In vain, anxious hearts have throbbed, and tears have
freely flowed. The husband, the brother, the son, -did not re-
turn. Where are so many wives made widows, and so many
children fatherless, as along our maritime borders ? How mar-
vellous is the Christian doctrine, so contrary to our natural sense,
" The sea shall give up the dead that are in it."
The ocean cemetery has no inclosing wall, and no names are
inscribed on its rocks. Every descendant of Thomas may know
that many of his kindred sleep in tombs invisible and unvisited,
around which the waves and storms chaunt a requiem.
In this connection it is grateful to acknowledge that much is
done to improve the condition of mariners. There are Sailors'
Homes, Mariners' Chapels, Libraries and Saving Institutions,
besides the Light House, the Life Boat and other apparatus.
The military element, too, has been strongly developed. The
name in England inherits eleven distinctive heraldic emblems,
or coats of armor. Thomas and his sons participated in the
16
Indian conflicts. The patriotic fire burned in the souls of their
descendants in the French war and in the Revolutionary strug-
gle. Some fe^ in battle, and others died in the military camp
and in the prison- ship. Those who survived to return home,
laid up in their houses the memorials of past danger and deliver-
ance. The writer of these sentences, when a child, read with
wonder the old parchment commissions to his fathers, with rich
seals and signatures, and handled proudly their belts and swords,
putting on their wigs and three-cornered hats.

Jacob Burgess,® s. of John^ and Mary Worden, of Yarmouth, was
Executor to the will of Thomas, his brother, in 1721. He became a
member of the 2nd Church in Yarmouth, June 29, 1735. No do-
mestic records are found, but his tombstone stands in West Brewster,
dated Aug. 15, 1772, aged 92 years. Sarah his wife, d. April 17,
1765, aged 84 years. Children :
81. Jacob,* and others.
A doubt exists whether this Jacob, who became *' old Dea. Jacob,"
of Lanesborough, was the son of Jacob, or of Samuel. Jacob, sen.,
in his Will, makes no recognition of any child, but gave his property
wholly to William, " a kinsman," who took the care of him and his
wife in their old age. In answer, it may be said that no coach, car
or mail, was then established between Lanesborough and Barnstable
County ; and, further, it may be presumed that his property was fully
exhausted in his board and apparel to the advanced age of 92 years.
On the other hand, our Jacob is thrice called junior, in the record
of his admission to the second Church in Yarmouth, in his marriage
with Ruth Wood, and in his letter of transfer to the church in Mid-
8
18
dleborough. As we believe that '^junior" was applied only to a Son
in the old Records, otherwise second or third was nsed to designate
one of the same name, this evidence is nearlj conclusive.

FOURTH GENERATION.
LOST RECORDS.
Written Language, — mysterious art, — divine gift to man, —
old as speech, and known to the patriarchs of our race, Adam,
Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Job.
The Ten Commands, given to Moses at Sinai, were inscribed
on tables of stone. This may indicate their moral excellence
and permanent authority. Marble is always the chosen sub^
stance for monumental inscriptions, historical and religious. Me-
tallic plates, as of silver or brass, are too costly for common use.
Parchment, or vellum, is remarkable for its durability, and it is
easy of transportation. But paper, so called, manufactured from
the bark or leaves of trees, from the fiber of flax or cotton, es-
pecially since the art of printing was introduced, is th^ univer-
sal material for written records. Yet how fragile is this sub-
stance, often worn or torn by use or abuse, discolored by smoke,
eaten by worms or consumed by fire. To all these modes of
injury is paper exposed. The volume, even the library of Alex-
andria, may be lost in an hour, and the learning of ages be
scattered in the wind. It is not strange then that the family
Bible was burnt in a frontier cabin of Maine, or that the Church
Records of Yarmouth were consumed with the house of Edward
Sturges, Esq., the clerk in 1674, or that the early volumes of
Deeds in Barnstable County, perished with the Register's office.
The loss is irreparable.
This is the place to confess the fact. The chasm exists,
and no vigilance or skill of man can fill it up. The family
of John, the second son of the Pilgrim, was connected with
the First church in Yarmouth, and there alone was the re-
cord of the birth or baptism of the several children. The early
volume of the Records was lost. Marriage was then celebrated
by the civil magistrate, and the record is often imperfect. How-
ever, as the family of John dwelt in the east part of the town,
20
afterwards called Harwich, they became connected with the
Second church, and we thence collect many hints.
Who can estimate the value of written records, when full,
accurate and well preserved ? Other memorials are less intel-
ligible or comprehensive. The pillar commemorates a single
person or event. The pyramid, on which were expended the
labor and treasure of an age, is gazed at in dull amazement,
like the natural mound, cliff or precipice. Capes and islands re-
main ; but men, whether individuals or families, pass away.
What enduring foot-prints can they make on the shore of time,
which the next wave will not obliterate ? What memorials ot
skill or goodness can they leave behind ? The desire to be re-
membered is instinctive. Personal friends will not forget, but
they soon die. Oral tradition, in general, is fugitive and inac-
curate, as may be seen in the ignorance of Pagan tribes, who
have no written language. Fragments of truth only can be
gleaned from that source. The pilgrims of New Plymouth
could read and write. They brought with them the Bible in
their own tongue. They set up the school-house near the
church. By the authority of law, and of public sentiment,
every child was instructed in the elements of useful knowledge.
Records were kept in families, towns, counties, and churches.
In no land probably can the Antiquarian prosecute his researches
with better success.
Clerks of courts, towns and churches, as well as heads of
families, may justly consider it a responsible duty to future
generations to preserve ample and faithful records in their sev-
eral departments.

FIFTH GENERATION.
labor — MIGRATION.
Labor is a condition of human life. It is both a necessity and
a duty. " In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
return unto the ground." " If any will not work, neither shall
he eat." No form of labor is more invigorating, safe from danger,
or sure of reward, than the culture of the field, or garden. Pu-
rity of air, salutary food, and a pleasant interchange of scene and
employment, with the successive seasons of the year, are thus
27
enjoyed. Health, peace of mind, moral habits and religious
dispositions, are allied to this primitive form of human labor.
The mechanic arts are closely associated with agriculture.
Houses and apparel, implements and machinery, follow in the
train.
If conunerce is a necessity, its dangers and privations must be
endured. A moderate number of factors and merchants are a
public convenience. But the city is a human institution, origin-
ating in pride or in barbarous war, to give protection from
violence.
The science of war and statesmanship would not be necessary,
if men were angels. But human society can not now be pre-
served without the energy of law and the machinery of military
warfare. ^* Whence come wars and fightings among you ? come
they not hence, even of your lusts? "
Migration is a common event from century to century. Our
race, of whatever ancestry, language or color, had their origin in
one pair, and in one place. As birds and beasts migrate, so do
men. Our Creator said, " Replenish the earth and subdue it."
"Multiply as the stars of heaven." A mountain or plain, cape
or island, is not the only home of the race. It is the will of God
that they should take possession of the whole earth, which was
formed for their abode. What one acre of land is cultivated to
the extent of its productive power. What one mine is exhausted
of its treasure. What one arm of the sea is not supplied with its
finny tribes. What millions of human beings might derive a
competent subsistence from this earth, if subjected to proper
culture.
The motives to migration can hardly be enumerated, whether
good or bad, personal or public. Necessity is one. Urgent pov-
erty cannot be restricted by law. The desire to improve our
condition is wholly proper. Restless curiosity is another. Who
does not wish to see the world ? What is beyond that river or
lake ? Who may dwell on the other side of this mountain range ?
Who has crossed this desert, or penetrated into that forest ? There
were travelers before Park and Ledyard, and navigators before
Anson and Columbus. Avarice is another motive. It is not
easy to define the limit between a rational ambition, and a sordid
avarice. The poor man feels his depressed condition. Do not
check his aspiring hope to surround himself with additional means
of comfort. Let one prefer the island, and another the continent ;
let one make his home on the sea-border, and another in the in-
terior of the country.
Conquest, the desire of dominion, has often induced military
chieftains and tribes to colonize. While the motive must be
condemned, the result has often been salutary. A legitimate
commerce has followed an ambitious invasion, and the bounds
28
of civilization have been enlarged. Agriculture has introduced
the cereal grains, instead of the indigenous roots and fruits.
Escape from persecution, civil or ecclesiastical, is still another.
How happy were the Israelites to escape from the bondage of
Egypt. How much did the Pilgrims of New England rejoice
to sacrifice the comforts of home, and native land, seeking an
abode in this mighty wilderness, that they might secure liberty
of conscience in the worship of God, and an opportunity to train
up their children in the way of their choice.
How diverse too are the circumstances under which a migra-
tion may be made, by sea or land, in summer or in winter, in
deep poverty or in comparative plenty, by compulsion or from
choice. Incidental hardships must often be endured. By change
of climate, by exposure to storm or privation, health may be im-
paired or life sacrificed. These calamities may fall most heavily
on women and children. We think that our ceiled houses and
various furniture and apparel are indispensable to our happiness.
But these must be left behind, if we migrate to the frontier set-
tlement or to the heathen island. Beasts of burden and wheel
carriages may be nearly unknown. To walk on foot, to bear
our own baggage, and to lodge in the open air, are incidental to
migration.
From whatever motive and under whatever circumstances,
many of the family of Thomas Burgess have migrated from place
to place. The capes of Massachusetts were favorable for re-
moval. Maine was across the Bay. The Atlantic slope lay
along the southern border. The hills and valleys of the interior
were always attractive. Many were the shoots transplanted from
the primitive stock. Many have been the young swarms, which
went forth from the old hive. There is hardly a State or Terri-
tory from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where they are not found.
" Westward the star of empire takes its way.**
If you wish to find the locality of a young man bom on Cape
Cod, you must trace his voyage on the ocean, or look for him in
some maritime city, or towards the setting sun.

The homestead, which descended from Ebenezer,^ became the pos-
session of Prince,^ who had the care of his mother and grandmother in
their old age, of whom he always spoke with the utmost tenderness.
The acres were ample in number, but the soil was thin. Hay from
the salt-meadow was the principal food for the cattle and sheep in
winter. The dairy, the fleece from the flock, and the fields of grain
and flax, supplied both food and apparel. The family subsisted on the
produce of their own labor.
In persevering industry and religious trust. Prince served God and
his generation to the good age of 84 years. In the revolutionary war,
he was called to serve in a short campaign, and he bore the title of
Lieutenant to the end of life.
As was common in the patriarchal families of New England, all the
members of his household were called together morning and evening
for the worship of God. The Bible was read, prayer offered and
blessings implored. When the table was spread, thrice in the day, a
petition was offered and thanks returned. Too much praise cannot
well be ascribed to the maternal head of the family, who survived her
husband several years. Her husband praised her, and her children
arose up and called her blessed.
The lines of the young man of English or Scotch birth, who died in
South Carolina, are appropriate in this place.

THE FAMILY BIBLE.
How painfully pleasing the fond recollection
Of youthful connections and innocent joy.
When blest with parental adyice and affection,
Surrounded with mercies — with peace from on high,
I still view the chair of my sire and my mother,
The seats of their offspring as ranged on each hand.
And that richest of books which excell'd eVry other —
That family Bible, that lay on the stand.
The old fashioned Bible, the dear blessed Bible,
The family Bible, that lay on the stand.
•
That Bible, the voluine of God's inspiration.
At mom and at evening could yield ns delight.
And the prayer of our sire was a sweet inyocation.
For mercy by day, and for safety through night,
Our hymns of thanksgiving with harmony swelling.
All warm from the heart of a family band,
Half raised us from earth to that rapturous dwelling.
Described in the Bible, that lay on the stand.
That richest of books which excell'd eVry other —
The family Bible, that lay on the stand.
Ye scenes of tranquillity, long have we parted.
My hope 's almost gone, and my parents no more,
In sorrow and sadness I live broken hearted,
And wander unknown on a far distant shore.
Yet how can I doubt a dear Saviour's protection,
Forgetful of gifts from his bountiful hand ;
Oh ! let me with patience receive his correction.
And think of the Bible, that lay on the stand.
That richest of books which excell'd ev'ry other —
The family Bible, that lay on the stand.

^' Died in Wayne, Kennebec Co., Me., June 13, Mr. Benjamin Burgess,
44
in the one hundred and second year of his age. He was bom at
Rochester, Mass., March 17, (O. S.) 1751. In early life he followed
the seas. In 1791, in common with many others, he lost most of his
property by the depreciation in the value of Continental money. He
paid $110 of this money for a copy of the New Testament, of which
he was an attentive reader. In 1794, he removed to Wayne, then
almost an unbroken wilderness, but now a well cultivated town, with
a village pleasantly situated between two beautiful ponds. His de-
scendants are 11 children, 67 grandchildren, 90 great grand-children,
and 10 great-great-grand-children — making in all 178 ; all of whom,
with the exception of four or five, are still living. Some from each
class of his descendants were present at the funeral. Mr. Burgess
retained his faculties in a remarkable manner to the last. He lived
beloved and respected, and like Job died, being old and full of days,
with a blessed hope of a glorious immortality." ^The children of
Benjamin Burgess were as follows ;

SIXTH GENERATION.
To you, who survive, of the sixth generation, Farewell.
Five generations now sleep on these shores, and ye will soon
be laid with them. Every one of you has passed the seven-
tieth mile-stone, which marks the ordinary limit of human life.
The lame, the deaf, the blind, the paralytic, make up your
company. Like the aged trees in the forest, your foliage is
46
fallen off, and your branches are shattered. Your head is white,
your eye is dim, your ear dull of hearing, your hand feeble in
strength, and your foot slow to move.
We draw near with reverence, not in the dying chamber or at
the silent grave, but to enjoy a benignant smile, to listen to wise
counsels, and to offer our filial salutations. You have done
much for us ; can we make no grateful return to you ? We
take hold of the skirts of your robes, and invite you to stay,
while God may permit.
How beautiful is the evening sky of an intelligent and exem-
plary Christian. Without impatience, melancholy or despond-
ence, he reviews with gratitude the course of life, and anticipates
with hope a more honorable and blessed state of existence, when
the infirmities of the body and the imperfections of the soul are
left behind. The society of his best friends and the presence of
his Saviour are elements in that future bliss.
Think not that ye are an encumbrance, burdensome or use-
less. What is muscular activity in comparison with wisdom.
How effective is the unconscious influence of age, when asso-
ciated with moral goodness. Besides who can tell how useful
it may be that filial affections should have ample opportunity for
exercise. Parents are made better by the laborious care of
children — and so children are improved by a self-denying attend-
ance on aged parents. Such discipline, on either side, may be
painful at the time, but its fruits are sweet.
How we wish that ye would tell us your experience and
various changes, the grounds of your patriotism and the princi-
ples of your Christian hope. Our schools, our Bibles, and our
churches have been dear to you. Our territory is enlarged, our
population is multiplied, our institutions are confirmed. Rational
liberty is better understood, our commerce is more widely
extended, and the mechanic arts are advanced in skill. But ye
see our beloved country involved in the unutterable horrors of a
Rebel war. Our young men are mown down as the flowers of
the field, and our treasures poured out like water in the street.
Benjamin of Boston, Peter Thatcher of Little Compton, John
of Wareham, William of Grafton, Tt., and others, were alive,
when the collection of this Genealogy of our ancestors was
commenced. The hope was indulged that the Volume might
kindle up a smile on the furrowed brow. But they have passed
away.
Be diligent to give your best counsels, and to do your last
work. " Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy
crown."
It is kindly said that the heart never grows old. Memory may
decay ; but the affections kindle up with new vivacity. With
what intensity of love are the grandchildren taken into parental
47
arms. The venerable Jacob conferred a double blessing on the
sons of Joseph.
Guard against the offensive infirmities, which are attributed
to the aged. Such are fault-finding, inquisitiveness and garru-
lity. Cultivate habits of active industry, and preserve your
powers of mind by daily reading, writing and prayer. Dread
not the near event of dying, which usually comes over the aged
with as little conscious suffering, as when the babe falls asleep.
The great duty is to set the house in order, to possess the soul
in patience, to maintain an intelligent trust in the great Redeemer,
and like the dying martyr to say, " Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

A doubt has hung over the line of Tristam's family, and different
branches might contend for the honor of his name. The accurate
compiler of the American Biographical Dictionary assumes that he
was a descendant of Joseph,^ because he was born in Rochester.
And the classical historian of Cape Cod conjectures that he was a
descendant of Thomas,^ of Newport, because he was a representative
in Congress from Rhode Island. But though born in Rochester, and
though he flourished in Rhode Island, the records show, that he was
in the line of John,^ of Yarmouth. Besides, Madame Sarah Bart-
lett, sister of Tristam, who still survives, testifies that Thomasine
Bangs was her great-grandmother. But Thomasine Bangs, daughter
of Jonathan, married Joseph Burgess,^ son of John,^ of Yarmouth.
At the Centennial celebration of Brown University, September 6,
1864, the Hon. John H. Clifford, in the course of an eloquent Address,
said, '^ The brilliant Burges, our Professor of Rhetoric and Belles
Lettres, whose fame is bounded by no local limits, before whose
scathing retort in the Congress of the United States, the Ishmaelite of
Virginia Statesmen, Randolph of Roanoke, for the first time quailed
and was forever silenced."

The new American Cyclopedia contains the following article.
Tristam Bubges, an American statesman and orator, bom in
Rochester, Massachusetts, February 26, 1770, died in Providence,
R. I., October 13, 1853. His father, John Burges, entered the army
as a lieutenant in 1775, with the intention of remaining in it during
the war ; but a severe illness, from which he never ftdly recovered,
obliged him to resign in a few months. He was a farmer of moderate
means, and in winter worked at his trade as a cooper. With a large
family of three sons and five daughters, and at a period when schools,
even in New England, were few, he was unable to give his children
the advantages of an early education. Tristam, the youngest of the
sons, was obliged to assist his father on the farm and in the cooper's
shop. His eldest sister taught him to read, his father instructed him
in writing and arithmetic, and from a friendly sea-captain he learned
a little navigation. When fifteen years old he attended a school in
the vicinity for six weeks, and again the next year for six weeks more.
This was all the instruction he received from others until he reached
the age of twenty-one. But he was a great reader, perusing every
book within his reach, and devoting his leisure hours to composition
and other modes of self-improvement. At twenty-one, he commenced
the study of medicine, and entered the academy at Wrentham, Mass.,
to prepare for college. A severe illness soon obliged him to leave this
situation, but his determination to acquire a liberal education could
not be repressed. He returned to the academy in the autumn, and
was again called home by the death of his father. With rigid econ-
omy, and by teaching school a few months in the winter, he was
enabled to return to Wrentham, in the spring of 1792. Here his fine
oratorical powers were first cultivated by a course of self-discipline not
unlike that which the great master of Grecian eloquence employed to
remedy a defect of nature. Although very fluent in conversation, yet
whenever he arose to speak at the school exercises he would stammer
and hesitate to such a degree that his friends deemed it impossible for
him ever to acquire the power of oratory. But his energy and ambi-
tion were unconquerable. Near the village was a dense forest, within
which he foimd a small cleared space, where in solitude he daily prac-
ticed declamation, carefully studying every tone and movement, until
he had mastered his hesitation, and acquired a natural and easy style
of delivery. In September, 1793, he entered Rhode Island College,
now Brown University, at Providence, and graduated three years later
with the first honors of his class. He then taught a school in Provi-
dence for more than a year, at the same time pursuing the study of
law, and was admitted to practice in 1799. The bar of Rhode Island
at that time was eminent for the eloquence and legal ability of its
members. It was a trying field for the young advocate, and a fitting
arena for the exercise of his noblest powers. He soon won the dis-
tinction which legal acumen and commanding eloquence cannot fail to
confer. His practice became extensive. The power of his oratory
and the clearness of his arguments were confessed by all who heard
him. In 1801, he married a daughter of Welcome Arnold, an opulent
merchant of Providence. Mr. Burges soon became a leader of the
federal party, and in 1811, was elected to a seat in the State Legisla-
ture. In 1815, he was made chief justice of the State. The triumph
68
of the republican party the next year removed him from this important
Imst. He was shortly afterward made professor of oratory and belles
lettres in Brown University, which place he filled with great success
until his election as a representative in Congress in 1825. He took
his seat in December of that year, and almost immediately achieved a
national reputation by his splendid speech on the judiciary, which was
pronounced by a veteran member of the house to be ^^ one of the
greatest displays of eloquence ever heard in this hall." In 1827, he
was re-elected without opposition. As chairman of the committee on
military pensions he made a report and submitted a bill proposing a
system of pensions for the surviving soldiers of the revolution, and
including also the widows of those who had died before this national
debt of gratitude was acknowledged. The woolen bill in 1828, ini-
tiated a series of debates upon the tariff, which lasted for five years.
It was in the course of this protracted controversy that Mr. Burges
made many of his most brilliant efforts in defense of the American
system ; and it was in repelling the attacks made upon him by the
opponents of protection that his luminous logic and his terrible sarcasm
won for him an unrivalled reputation as a perfect master of the great
art of intellectual gladiatorship. There was scarcely a question of
any importance, that arose during the ten years of his congressional
career, which Mr. Burges did not illustrate with his convincing logic,
his persuasive eloquence, or his blighting satire. In 1833, he was
again elected, for the fifth and last time, at a period when the doctrine
of nullification was agitating the country. His views on this subject
were fully and fearlessly expressed. It was the only point upon which
he sustained the course of President Jackson. He opposed the com-
promise tariff bill of Mr. Clay^ when it came down to the house, with
a vehemence natural to his character. This opposition, doubtless,
caused his defeat in 1835, when the democratic republican party
obtained the power in Rhode Island. He never again took part in
public affairs, but cultivated his farm near Providence until his death,
which occurred in the 84th year of his age. In the style of his
writings and speeches Mr. Burges was ornate and peculiar. The
richness of his classical and scriptural illustration was beyond that of
his compeers. The acuteness of his logic was felt and admitted by
his opponents. He is better remembered for his unequalled sarcasm,
probably because that was a sphere in which he had many competitors,
and wherein he was usually the victor. But the brilliancy of his
scholarship, the beauty of Ms allusions, the exquisite ornamentation
of his more finished efforts, these are points that give him a far higher
title to remembrance than the deadly thrusts of a satire in which he
had no equal.

Judge Burgess, distinguished through life by scrupulous integrity,
by habits of great industry, and by the conscientious discharge of
every trust, as well as by eminent sagacity and prudence, merited and
acquired the confidence of his fellow citizens, in a measure which is
accorded only to the most blameless. His counsel was sought with a
peculiar reliance on its value ; and the weightiest affairs and most
delicate duties were intrusted to him without apprehension. As Judge
of the Municipal Court of Providence, an office which he held from
the organization of the city government till within a few years of his
death, he presided over the distribution of the estates of that large and
wealthy community, with more than satisfaction to those whose inter-
ests demanded an exact and watchful guardian. He was also judge
of the Common Pleas, till a new organization of the Courts superseded
that office, which had never been in wiser or purer hands. His pro-
fessional practice, with his other undertakings, secured to him, under
the blessing of God, a prosperous position ; and he was able and ready
to lend cheerful and considerate assistance to those who needed his
kindness, and to bear his part in works of pnblic beneficence. The
honorable profession of the Law has seldom furnished a worthier
example of the Christian virtues, than his character displayed from
youth to age, — uprightness, fidelity, discretion, diligence, and the fear
of God.
At an early period. Judge Burgess and his wife were united with
the Church of Christ, and maintained an exemplary deportment to the
end of life.

The venerable Benjamin Burgess, founder of the present commer-
cial house of B. Bargess & Sons, was one of our oldest and most
esteemed merchants of Boston. There are few of his age and class
left. He was bom at Sandwich, and commenced business there in
1802, and represented his native town in the Legislature as early as
1812, and many years after. As soon as the war closed, say in 1816,
he transferred his business to Boston, and opened a very active and
lucrative trade with Cuba, and from that time forward prosecuted it
with great energy, enterprise and success until he retired from busi-
ness, about ten years since. He had the good fortune to pass through
all the chances of an active mercantile business of more than half a
century in duration, without any of those reverses that so often inter-
rupt the career of the best and wisest of our mercantile men ; and he
had, too, the satisfaction of founding one of the leading houses in the
Cuba trade in the country. Though one of the most quiet, urbane,
and unobtrusive of men, he was, as it often happens, a man of large
intelligence, a thorough merchant, and very enterprising and energetic,
and of unquestioned "integrity. He was the first to open and foster
trade with the now flourishing port of Cienfuegos, and he had the
honor, too, of taking the lead in abolishing spirit rations on board of
our merchant ships, and the mode of doing it was characteristic of the
man, he having not only given the men extra pay instead, but extra
fare besides. His example was soon followed by the rest of the mer-
cantile community.
Mr. Burgess, when he removed to Boston, retained his homestead
in Sandwich, on the very spot where his ancestors, before him, had
resided since 1638 ; and after his retirement from active business has
passed his summers there, cultivating his grounds, and has had the

gratification of gathering largely from one orchard which he planted
after he was seventy, and sparingly from another which he planted
after he was eighty. His Christian character, like his business
character, was quiet and unobtrusive, but constant and all pervading,
tempering his whole life to an unruffled genial equanimity that seemed
to be never shaken for an instant, so that although he was for a long
period and until he resigned, one of the directors of the Merchants
Bank, one of the directors for the whole period of the first charter of
the Equitable Insurance Company, and director of the Cape Cod Rail-
road Company to his death, and in business half a century, it is
hazarding but little to say that he had not an ill wisher in the world,
but had the love and veneration of all who had ever known him.

SEVENTH GENERATION.
The family is not extinct. Let thanks be siseribed to Him,
who keepeth covenant and showeth mercy to a thousand gen-
erations. The generation, now in active life, is the seventh in
the American family of Thomas Burgess. The promise is to
those who fear God and keep his commandments. Yet other
95
families, apparently godly, are extinct ; and their names have
faded from the memory of the living.
There are physical causes, which contribute to longevity and
numerical increase. Such are original vigor of constitution,
purity of blood, chaste habits, active employments and a com-
petent supply of nutritive food. There are moral causes, too,
which subserve the same results, such as the domestic relations,
culture of mind, patience, hope and religious trust. But these
physical and moral causes have no mechanical power. Let
the fidelity of the divine promise to the ancient patriarch be
confessed. " And He brought him forth abroad, and said, Look
toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number
them ; and He said to him, so shall thy seed be." Who can
believe that there was no connection between the divine promise
and the perpetuity of his race in the bondage of Egypt and in
the land of Canaan. So it is now. The bond of union is not
visible to our eye, but it is not the less real. We plead for no
miracle, but for the ordinary providence of Him, who sees the
end from the beginning of his works.
No. The family of the pilgrim is not extinct. The blood
of the ancestor flows warm in the veins of some thousands,
who are confined to no one section of the globe. They make
their abode beyond the mountains, and their ships traverse dis-
tant seas. And if it may please God, in memory of his holy
covenant with the fathers, to restrain their descendants from
luxurious indulgence and selfish celibacy, the hearth-stones will
be multiplied and the daily sacrifice will burn on a thousand
altars.
Patriotism has demanded the sacrifice of some on the field of
battle. In the prosecution of the fisheries and a legitimate
commerce, others have suffered as victims to the insatiable
ocean. Agriculture has contributed to the health of many.
The element of piety, almost hereditary from the pilgrim to the
seventh generation, has inspired the soul with peace and stability.
They, who are now in active life, have enjoyed better advan-
tages of education than their fathers, and possess a more liberal
inheritance in lands and houses. It will be their own fault, if
they do not preserve the reputation of the name, and attain to
competence. They will be tempted to consult their pride and
pleasure.
The compiler of this volume is happy to testify that within
his personal knowledge no Burgess among the descendants of
Thomas is a vagrant pauper, a gambler, a profane prodigal, or a
criminal convict. As a race, they are industrious and patriotic,
temperate and chaste, — not specially ambitious of honor or
covetous of wealth, — grateful for the mediocrity, so wisely
96
desired in the prayer of Agur, — " Give me neither poverty nor
riches ; feed me with food convenient for me ; lest I be full and
deny thee, and say, Who is the Lord ? or lest I be poor and
steal, and take the name of my God in vain."
Three other competent persons testify thus : " They have
been respectable and useful members of society." " They have
been, and still are, an honor to society, and quite a share of
them to the church." " I have never known or heard that any
member of the race was convicted of an offense against the laws
of our country. So far as I have known, they are truly loyal
men and women, generally intelligent in respect to the history
of the country ; and in point of talent, I think that they do not
occupy a low place in the scale of humanity.'*

•
Ella Burgess Sawyer. This charming child was the only daughter
in her father's family, and was destined apparently to be a guardian angel
to the brothers, who were younger than herself. The hopes and affections
of her parents naturally entwined around her. She was advancing towards
maturity in person and in mind, and early exhibited a religious sentiment,
* which gave promise of moral excellence.
She was spending a summer vacation at the residence of her maternal
grandfather in Sandwich. One of her healthful recreations was a daily
ablution in some adjacent slxeam or pond. On the morning of her thir-
teenth birth-day, having received from her mother a new bathing dress, as
a little memorial of the event, she went with a few of her associates to a
new bathing place, which was believed to be safe. But the slope of the
bank was deceptive, and after a few yards it abruptly fell off. She adven-
tured beyond her depth, and was not able to recover her footbold. Help
came soon, but too late. ** Oh Ella, my child," exclaimed the grandfather,
** would to God I had died for thee."

EIGHTH GENERATION.
appeal to the eighth generation.
Ye are mostly young. A few of you have left the years of
minority, and attained to the meridian of life. But when one
of the sixth generation, who remembers some of the fourth,
makes an appeal, to the eighth generation, he cannot easily
suppress the conviction that he is speaking to the young. He
wishes to tell you of the personal aspect and deportment of our
ancestors, their habits and manners, their principles and disposi-
tions. And he wishes to apologize for some grave charges,
which are made against them. We must understand the great
ends of their enterprise, and the reasons for their holy zeal for
liberty, civil and religious. We must think of the circumstances
of comparative poverty, in which they were placed, exposed to
assault from the Indian tribes, and not watchfully protected by
the parental government. We must think of wild beasts to be
subdued, forests to be cut down, roads to be opened, bridges to
be constructed, the means of subsistence to be produced, and
the welfare of their children to be consulted. We must think
of the good reasons why they wished to enjoy their seclusion,
and that others, who preferred a dilSerent order in government
or religion, should stay away, and not defeat the objects of their
self-denial and hope. A holy jealousy was natural and not
improper. The world is wide, and let those, who cannot agree,
part in love. This was the wish of the Fathers, in respect to
165
Churchmen and duakers. They had no spirit of persecution,
except for self protection, and as guardians for their children.
But in the process of time they were compelled to give way,
and the world invaded their fair. inheritance. Now, their dust
is not gathered up with reverence, but often trodden down.
Now, their intrinsic virtues are not embalmed in memory, but
often derided. * Yet who, in the sober exercise of his judgment,
will not take pride in an ancestry, so intelligent, honest and
pure, rather than boast of royal blood. Filial ingratitude is a
grave offense. For us they labored, for us they suffered, and
for us some of them died.
We of this age think ourselves competent to make an impar-
tial estimate both of the infirmities and excellent qualities of
the Pilgrims. But it is more easy to find fault, than it is to do
so well. The young in their hilarity often reproach the gravity
of the aged. They charge moderation with dullness, prudence
with timidity, economy with avarice, stability with want of
enterprise, and a conscientious religion with austere formality.
But let us remember that it is more easy to expend than to
acquire, to ramble abroad than to work patiently at home. Let
us not iforget that the distinction is immutable between truth
and error, between godliness and impiety.
Let words of scandal flow from aliens, not from children.
Our filial obligations are too strong to be broken. Our birth-
right is too precious to be despised. We possess the lands which
they redeemed from the forest, eat the fruit of the trees which
they planted, are trained up in the schools and churches which
they founded, and enjoy the liberty and good government which
they sacrificed blood and treasure to establish. What if they
dwelt in log-cabins, were clothed in coarse garments, spread the
table with wooden trenchers, and subsisted sometimes on shell-
fish and indigenous roots ; they left to their children an inherit-
ance more rich than mineral wealth, and a name more honorable
than princely titles.
We boast that we live in a practical age, and are not engrossed
with theological speculation. Our system of education is prac-
tical, and our style of government is accommodated to the spirit
of the nineteenth century. In art and in science we aim at
improvement. In agriculture, in architecture, and in the manu-
factures, we wish to find some short and easy method. Is there
no danger that we shall become superficial rather than profound,
visionary rather than judicious? We may lose the spirit in the
fonn, the abiding principle in the temporary excitement, the hope
of immortality in the bustle of time. Neither the cotton of the
Gulf States, nor the gold of California, nor the petroleum of the
mountains, is fit to be our king.
If a direct reference to the religious sentiment would be
166
thought to be out of place in this appeal, no one will deny
that a eulogy on the social affections is eminently appropriate.
These begin to be developed in early infancy, and are
the last to die out in the soul in old age. The parental, filial
and fraternal affections, are alike entitled to culture. The
precept is divine : " Children, obey your parents in the Lord ; "
** Honor thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee." And on the other hand, "Ye fathers,
provoke not your children to wrath ; but bring them up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord." We are allied together
in the family by a thousand bonds, which the apostasy
of our race cannot wholly dissolve. Do honor then to the
family. It is a divine institution, and not simply a civil
arrangement to insure order in society. Pride or selfishness,
convenience or caprice, the dread of responsibility or a past dis-
appointment in love, is not chiefly to be consulted, but the wise
and benevolent ordinance of our Heavenly Father. " Marriage
is honorable in all." Thence originate the relations, so intimate
and endearing, of one member of the family to another. The
doctrine of the Papal church on the celibacy of priests and nuns
is utterly demoralizing and abhorrent. Nor is the intermarriage
of cousins, or other near kindred, to be encouraged. The
statistics of genealogy render strong testimony against it. Aris-
tocracy is a failure. Marriage between remote races institutes a
new bond of union, abasing the proud and elevating the lowly.
Early marriage, too, is a safeguard to chastity. Professional
men, late in completing their course of education, must often
postpone this domestic arrangement ; but they, who are devoted
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, will succeed better by an
early establishment in the family.
The fallacious policy of the Mount WoUaston Company is
instructive. To the Plymouth Company they boasted of their
superior sagacity and better prospect of success, especially that
they did not encumber themselves with women and children.
But a year was not passed, when they became exhausted in their
provisions, impaired in health, irregular in habits and discour-
aged in heart. They implored the sympathy of the Plymouth
Company, and returned to England in a disbanded state. The
Plymouth Company, on the contrary, came with their wives
and children to find a home. They lived for their children
rather than themselves, wishing to leave them unburdened with
the ecclesiastical oppressions of England, and unensnared by the
commercial temptations of Holland. Yet they acknowledged
the essential integrity of the English church, renewed their
allegiance to the English government, and rendered patriotic
services to the mother-land during the old French wars in
Canada.

INSCRIPTION TO THE NINTH GENERATION.
To the Ninth Generation of the descendants of Thomas and
Dorothy Burgess, the Compiler inscribes this Volume with his
aflfectionate salutations. If it may serve to inspire you with a
love of useful knowledge, and with a resolution to establish
virtuous habits in life, his labor and expense will not be lost.
Its claims are humble. It does not profess to instruct in any
department of art or science, of government or religion. Yet,
like the Spelling Book or the Dictionary, it will often be in
your hand. Who does not wish to know about his ancestry
and kindred ? The wisest and best men have not despised this
kind of knowledge. Cosmopolites are few. We are attached
by nature to time and place. The natal chamber, the school
house, the church and the grave-yard, are spots sacred in our
early memory. Who were the guardians and teachers of our
childhood ? What were the example and counsels of our father
and mother? The prejudices of education, so called, are widely
distinct from the lessons of parental wisdom, derived from the
Bible or founded on long experience.
Every age may indeed have its peculiar conditions, which
modify public sentiment and personal character. We, for ex-
ample, were cultivating the arts of peace, and not allowing
among the toys of our children the fife or the drum, or the
wooden gun. A standing army, a national debt and heavy
taxation, were abhorrent to us. But in a darkly mysterious
hour, contrary to all our expectations and prayers, we were
plunged into a fratricidal war, and our whole Republic was
convulsed from the centre to its border, — our army immense,
and our debt enormous. The attempt to divide our States is
unnatural. We are brethren, with a common ancestry, language
and religion. Our institutions and interests, our rivers and
mountain-ranges, are the same. Railroads and telegraphic
wires hold us together. The intermarriage of our children is a
tender bond of union. Migration to the east or west, to the
north or south, is frequent. The Tenth Generation will doubt-
less see our Republic, one and undivided, with an increasing
population from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Banish party
names, opprobrious epithets and sectional distinctions. They
are injurious and wrong. And let the Press change its tone of
reproach, whether in the north or south.
The Compiler wishes to take by the hand each little pilgrim
of the family, and e^fhort him in the words of divine wisdom,
" Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth."
* 185
«* The ways of wisdom are pleasantness, and all her paths are
peace : " " Whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure,
lovely and of good report ; if there be any virtue, and if there
be any praise, think on these things ; and the God of peace
shall be with you."
The few pictures in this volume will please your eye. Some
of the old names will attract your attention. And as you search
its pages you will learn much about your ancestors. Here are
the names of three aged persons,' wjio survived to be one hundred
years. Here are the names of many little children, who were
early borne by ministering angels to the Saviour's arms. You
will think, who they were, where they lived, when they died,
and what bitter tears of grief were shed by the bereaved fathers
and mothers.
The family is one, but divided for a time in place and state.
One part has crossed the river, and taken possession of the land
of promise, while the other part lingers on these shores.
Those, we hope, are perfect and blessed, while these are still
subject to sin, sorrow and death. May the family, broken in
time, be united in a happy eternity.
At the age of seventy-five years, it may well be presumed,
that this is the last public act in the Compiler's life. Several
of those, whom he wished especially to please, have left the
abode of mortals. Few of the Sixth generation remain. Those
of the Seventh and Eighth generations are in the vigor of life,
and engrossed with the labors of the world. To you therefore
of the Ninth generation, who are now in early childhood, with
the pleasing hope that by the aid of curiosity and susceptibility
of nature, you may find in it both pleasure and instruction,
THIS VOLUME IS INSCRIBED.
